Matt Click

Hi friends! I’m Matt (he/him)—editor, writer, and developer working in TTRPGs. I’ve worked with WotC, Chaosium, Green Ronin, R. Talsorian, Onyx Path, and Free League, to name a few. I’m also the lead designer of The Mecha Hack and its fantasy offshoot, Aether Nexus. Thanks for following!

Treated myself to the Aether Nexus TTRPG. Artwork is gorgeous with its Adventure Time meets Ghibli vibe and it's based on Mecha Hack which always seemed like a cracking game system. absolutetabletop.com/en-gb/produc...

This week I've tried out what I've dubbed 'Battle Mecha Hack' - solo playing Mecha Hack (by @mattclick.bsky.social / @absolutetabletop.bsky.social) set in the BattleTech universe. It worked surprisingly well, and was a ton of fun! daydreamingmoose.bearblog.dev/battle-mecha... #ttrpg #solorpg #blog

The third version of my streamlined WEG D6 hack HyperspaceD6 is now available! Check it out, and may the Force be with you. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

The BioWare news has got me feeling a way.

Forgotten Island was fantastic. Fun characters, bonkers animation, and a killer soundtrack. Wildly creative and weird. I loved it.

I'm going to try and solo play Mecha Hack by @mattclick.bsky.social so I got myself the Mission Manual for some more options.

Available today! Episode 1 of our brand new #MechaHack actual play podcast - BRING DOWN THE SKY! Played using the excellent Mecha Hack by @mattclick.bsky.social and @absolutetabletop.bsky.social ! Available wherever you get your podcasts

I’ve rolled dice in hardwood trays lined with leather, and this cardboard lid off an air filter is still my favorite rolling tray.

Zillathon continues, albeit at a much slower pace as my kid has taken an interest and has been watching them with me. We’re just about done with the Showa era, and Godzilla vs. Megalon remains a fave. The first Godzilla movie I ever saw (thanks to MST3k). The Goji/Jet Jaguar tag-team is legendary.

I’m losing my day job at the end of this month. As of now, haven’t secured a new full-time gig, so my freelance schedule is wide open. If you’re looking for an editor or proofreader, hit me up.

I already did it.

Oscar winner and San Francisco resident Marcia Lucas — the former wife of George Lucas who edited the original “Star Wars,” “American Graffiti” and “Taxi Driver” —  has died.

how is this video funny **every. single. time** you hear it?

The “pleasant pastime” to “stressful obligation” pipeline

Been playing Pokemon since Red/Blue. Here’s my first ever shiny. 🥺

Godzilla Raids Again is a pretty obvious rush-job, but it also introduces my boy Anquirus (while also establishing his habit of getting his ass handed to him). Couple fun scenes, mostly boring human plot without the emotional weight of the OG. Next up is King Kong vs. Godzilla. #ZillaThon

I’m embarking on ZILLATHON 2026 today with 1954’s original. Been a few years since I’ve sat and watched this. The stark black and white makes Godzilla feel truly huge and terrifying. The OG is still one of the franchise’s best.

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

I love Tears of the Kingdom, but SO many of its quests stiff you on rewards. Like, I’m not doing this for loot, but if I spend the better part of three play sessions completing a quest, I’d love to get SOMETHING cool. (That said, game is great and LOOKS great on Switch 2.)

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

I think about the big Harkonnen troop carrier ornithopter like once a week. Do I have a problem?

Are we ready to talk about how this is the best Ganondorf design?

I'm just gonna say it: someone you know could really use this guy on their feed, and who are you to deprive them? #chronotrigger #Glenn #Frog

Looked through the rulebook last night and Aether Nexus is rad as fuck actually

Not including the hookshot in BotW/TotK is a huge missed opportunity.

2026 wasting zero time in totally killing my vibe.

Got Necromolds for Christmas. Make little monsters outta clay, battle em, and smush em when they lose! Feels like a game that I would’ve pined after as a kid.
